Oceanic to Continental Plates ( David, Marc, and Jaliah)

Oceanic to Continental Plates is when the oceanic plate is subducted under the continental plate.

Locations:

This event is happening in the Washington-Oregon coastline. The Juan de Fuca oceanic plate boundary is subducting below the Western North American Continental Plate. It's also located in China.

Associated Geologic Events

When the oceanic plate is subducted beneath the continental plate, it starts to form a magma chamber due to the high temperature. Then the magma slowly rises to the surface which then, it might make a volcanic eruption.
